Check out Ontology, it's a new emergence into crypto market but already gained a lot of market and trading in big volumes plus June is a big month for the project as they will be releasing their own blockchain on 30th June. You can also check out other projects like Neblio, DBC and Zilliqa.

Search on the thread, there are a lot of bounties. Check project, bounty period, tokens allocated and bounty managers hosting that bounty. If all the check boxes are fine then you're good to go with that bounty.

Some of the NEO tokens are really great, you can check them out, like QLC, DBC, ZPT, ONT. Though ONT is not that cheap but it will grow 20-30% in this month only.

If not talking about just cryptocurrencies but taking the whole blockchain technology and it's usecases into the picture, yes it will be big in the future. It could grow like the internet has grown in the past.

Yeah I'm agree with you, Airdrop means free tokens but when they ask KYC, it's not an airdrop then, we are selling our identities and data for tokens worth a few cents. KYC should only be done if someone is actually investing a big amount of money.

Know more about ICO before investing into it,
Visit their social channels and ask them a lot of questions, ask them until you get all clear answers.
Check out their team and previous background of team members. Generally ICOs with fake or unknown members and hidden team are fishy ones.
Check out what their project is, its usecases, check roadmap, github, smart contract etc, read whitepaper, how and when it will be developed?
in short do as much research as possible to know whether an ICO is a good investment or it's just to take your money.

As many of the replies mentioned, stakes are not necessarily the amount of tokens. It's rather a number which is added and divided by the tokens allocated to any bounty campaign, for eg. 1000 tokens are allocated for a campaign and total stakes earned by all bounty hunters are 500, then 1 stake will be equal to 2 tokens.

Thank you for this really nice and comprehensive post about bounties. As a new bounty hunter and still learning which campaign I should invest myself into, it's really beneficial.

For me, Cardano is way better project than Ripple. It has more usecases and growth potential compared to XRP but you can give him an amount of both as a dual present.

As an HODLer my plans are pretty much similar that of yours, I will hold on to some of the best coin throughout the year and try to increase my portfolio, wait for the perfect time before selling any part of it.

Great project, would love to be a part of it and contribute for the betterment.

My two transactions didn't complete at 2 and 4 gwei, then I checked Eth gas station and used 13 gwei and my transaction got successfully completed within a minute. I'd recommend you to use Eth gas station to find out the optimal gas price.

I do check out ICO ratings for ICOs and also check out their team, websites, whitepaper and other stuff to determine the potential of an ICO, there are a lot  of ICO are coming into market and most of them fails to reach soft cap. It's better to do proper research before investing.

I'm from India and recently people are taking a lot interest into crypto field but it's not much supported by government and banks yet. These official entities are not yet fully ready to accept cryptos coming up with silly statements every now and then but overall crypto are getting positive responses from public and enthusiasts.

I believe Electroneum is the coin which could be really big in the future, it's made for the mass adaption, and the latest fork news is a good sign that team is developing it quite well.

Great project to make your cool trips more cooler, better and comfortable using blockchain, all in one travel solution.

I like the project, as a travel fan myself this would be great project to connect with fellow travelers, vloggers, finding out cool places, hotels etc with the help of blockchain.

I like Nex and Abyss ICO, and I wanna add "Robotina" ICO to this list, they had a successful pre-sale and it is a big competitor to Power Ledger.
